I need some help, I am working on a friends computer that we have rebuilt in the past 2 months and recently it started to do a reboot thing, it would go into windows then lock up and start rebooting. I know that in previous post you guys had mentioned the power supply and the cooling but let me give you the system specs and what I have tried.
Aspire 500w dual fan power supply (2 mos old)
AMD Sempron 2800+ 754 Socket (2 mos old)
756 MB PC 2700 (2 mos old)
60 GB Western Digital Hardrive
CD Burner
DVD Rom
Gigabyte K8NS (2 mos old)
I have tried different hard drives, taken out all the memory sticks and tested them 1 by 1. Also tried hooking the hardrive up to the secondary IDE cable and it still does the same thing. And know I am kinda at a loss, it has plenty of airflow with 1 in the front and 1 in the back, and the cpu fan is fitting fine, so I am just wondering, is it a bad motherboard or processor, both are still under warranty. Gigabyte is ready to take the board back, and they seem to think that it is a bad board, but you know how they are they send them through a week class and put them on the phone.
